PADI IDC Bali - Dive Theory Online
Dive Theory Online was introduced into the PADI system in order to help people who had not studied their dive theory for a while, or who have completed the new PADI Divemaster course (2011). This theory is a requirement for the PADI IDC and so it is important that candidates come prepared to the IDC. Dive theory is not actually part of the PADI IDC so although we will help you with remediation, we do expect that you have been studying your dive theory - Physics, Physiology, RDP and Decompression Theory, Equipment and General skills & the Environment.
Independent study - Dive Theory
You can use the Encyclopedia of Recreational Diving and the Diving knowledge workbook to assist you with your study although the PADI Dive Theory online is a very effective tool. But don't take our word for it - Putra just passed his IE with us in Bali after using Dive Theory Online; this is what he had to say about it:
Hello guys and gals, My name is Putra Sasano.
Here I have a story that I would like to share with everyone. This something that happened to me during my IDC with course director Thomas Barret aka Bazz.
I really had a hard time during my idc as my theory bit is bad ( honestly it sucked really bad ). Although my fellow power rangers in my group ( aka fellow candidates ) helped me out tons, but I was still very weak.
Then bazz ( CD Thomas Barrett ) had a heart to heart talk, and mentioned the online theory by PADI. I thought that it might help a bit so took his advice and did it. To my surprise, it was filled with many illustration and also videos. It was like a breathe of crest nitrox for me. My scores for the theory suddenly began to sore really high. It was a shock to me and my fellow candidates.
And then, everything in the idc began to be so easy for me. My usual score for physics was about 20% then after the theory online , it went up to an average of 85% and the same went for the others.Even in the IE I got so many 100%. If bazz did not recommend this earlier, honestly I would not have gotten through and become the professional as you see before you now.
So the moral of this story is, if you are worried about your theory or if you are really weak in it. You should take the online theory by PADI. It has really changed my life and made me a better diver and teacher.
I would highly recommend that you take this.
Again thanks Bazz for everything. You changed my life and I will always remember the super Course Director at Blue Season Bali, who is. Thomas Barrett.
